Who sits in the pew that's before me.
From her heels to her hair.
Her waist is so tapering, slender;
Her arms might be christened divine!

To tell her how greatly love

BEFORE DAWN.

The night passeth on toward the morrow,
The stars fade away in the gloom,
And call, with their joys and their sorrow,
The ghosts of the past from their tomb.
BY the whirlwinds and torrents of passion,
BY the wrecks that are left as a sign,
By each picture sweet memories fashion,
1 summon thy spirit to mine.
1t needs ME and nestles beside me,
feel thy warm breathing at last;
And through gateways of dreamland guide
thee
Blackjack to the realms of the past.
Midst bowers of roses our path leads,
We heed not the thorns If they gall,
For joys that we grasp while the heart bleeds
May still be the sweetest of all.
Through castles that had no foundations,
Yet reached to the skies ere they fell,
And though frailest of fancy's creations,
Were roads toward heaven or hell.
So the morris woven into the morrow,
Twin threads in eternitys loom
And the ghosts. with their joys and their
sorrow,
Glide back to their shadowy tomb.

KAMTSCHATKA.
Habits, Houses and Diet of Some
of the Inhabitants.

OF the Inhabitants.
Chambers Journal.
The aboriginals of Kamtschatka are
Kamtschatdales and Koriaks; but little
is known of their origin, and both have
decreased in numbers since the Russian
occupation. The country is now chiefly
peopled by Siberian-Russians, and by
race the product of intermarriage be-
tween them and the aboriginal KANT
schatdales. This new race it is usual to
greedy, diSagreeable kind of people
they seem to be. They are of low
order, and live in summer either in
Wretched hutS by the river banks, or in
lofts above the sheds in which they
hang their fish. In winter they have
Semi-Subterranean dwellings.
Their habits and diet are alike filthy,
and their notions of honesty meager.
The pure Kamtschatdales, on the other
hand, appear to be kindly and hos
pitable people. The houses of the bet
ter class of natives of Russian blood are
usually lOg-built. implanted, containing
usually two, and sometimes, but rarely,
four rooms, in which will be found
few chairs, rough deal table. tawdry
gilt eIkOn of the Russian church and
any number of cockroaches and unmen-
tionable insects. The houses are in
many places raised above the ground,
either upon stones, like haystacks, or
upon low wooden pillars. The floors
are boarded and the house is warmed
by means of a huge brick stove built in
between the rooms, which develops i'm
mense heat.
The diet of these upper classes" is
besides fish-milk, sour cream, rye bread
and bilberries. The bilberry seems to
be the only fruit in Kamtschatka. A
few patches of potatoes and cabbages
occasionally surround the better vii
lagos; but, unless at Melcova, there are
no cereals, although it is stated that rye
would do very well in some parts of the
valley of the Kamtschatka river. The
harvest of the river and the sea is
enough, however, to occupy all the time
and thoughts of the Kamtschatkan. and
he has neither the leisure nor the taste
for agriculture.

A woMAN's WORD.

oh ever, when the happy laugh is dumb,
All the joy gone, and all the anguish come
When strong adversely and subtle pain
Wiring the sad soul and rack the throbbing
brain
When friends once faithful, hearts once all
our own
Leave us to weep; to bleed and die alone !:
When fears and cares the lonely thought EN-
ploy,
And clouds of sorrow hide the sun of joy
When weary life, breathing reluctant breath.
Hath no hope sweeter than the hope. of
DEATH !
Then the best counsel and the last relief
To cheer the spirit or to cheat the grief,
The only calm, the only comfort heard
Comes in the music of a woman's word
Like a beacon bell on some wild island shore,
Silvery ringing in the tempest's roar.
Whose sound blown shipward through the
midnight gloom
Tells of the path and turns her from her
doom Edwin Arnold.

Suggestion for Serviceable Silk.
From Fashion Magazine.
For those who can only afford one silk
dress for the summer the best and most
economical purchase is white China
silk of good quality and heavy texture.
Such dress is suitable for all occasions
in summer and if arranged so
as to be easily worn open at
the throat, is sufficiently dressy for
dinner parties and seaside dances. They
are SO soft that they fit and drape well,
and can be taken apart and washed half
dozen times without damage, though
they shed dust, resist sea damp and dew

IngersoIl and His Arguments,

In answer to an inquiry by some of his

people you find in almost any church.

Hardly, boys, hardly. But you can eat
peanuts there, and choke on the shells,
while you applaud the funny jokes about

weary old father when he left the earth.
Yes, boys, Ingersolrs arguments are I'M

The first Steamer to cross The

In 1919 the Atlantic was first crossed
By a ship using steam. This was the
Savannah, of $50 tons, launched at Cor
lear's Hook, New York, August %, 1918.
She was built to ply between New York
and Savannah as a sailing-packet. She
was, however, purchased by Savannah
merchants and fitted with steam machin-
ery, the paddlc-wheels being constructed
to fold up and be laid upon the ieek
when not in Use, her shaft also having
joint for that purpose. She left Savan-
nah on the 26th of May, and reached
Liverpool in 25days, using steam Is days
